Accessing files via WebDAV

WebDAV stands for "Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning". It is a set of extensions to the
HTTP protocol which allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers. What
that means is that you can store files in your home directory on the server and securely access them
via standard https links for both upload and download. This allows you to store a ICS Calendar file
for use with applications like Apple's iCal, Mozilla Sunbird, Evolution, KOrganizer, or any other
WebDav enabled calendering application. Furthermore, it provides a method for mounting your home
directory via the web on your home machine or laptop. Full instructions are listed below.

where Your FULLHOMEDIRECTORY should look something like /home/faculty/username.

The WebDAV for your home directory should now be accessible under ~/webdav on your
home system. The fusedav command will not return automatically, as long as
it is running, you have access to the WebDAV.

To unmount your WebDAV directory, use either fusermount -u ~/webdav or, in a pinch,
kill the fusedav process with CTRL-C or with killall fusedav.
